Both in its aesthetic and approach to service, The Bowery Hotel has managed to retain a connection with the history of this once-seedy part of town.

The reader is introduced to a mixed bag of Hackney's residents, past and present, not only the obvious writers, artists and film-makers, but a huge cast of less likely collaborators: an academic who doubles as a bus-driver; a dowser in search of ley lines; a former German terrorist; William Lyttle, the infamous Mole Man of Mortimer Road who spent 40 years digging a labyrinth of tunnels under his dilapidated Victorian house.

这本读物介绍了各式各样的一群海克尼的居民，过去的和现在的，不仅有著名的作家、艺术家和电影制片人，还有大量的不大相干的人：一位兼职公交车司机的学者；一位探寻草地边界的查风水者；一位德国裔前恐怖分子；威廉姆·莱特，一位名声不大好听的"莫提摩路的鼹鼠人"，他花了40年时间在其破败的维多利亚时代的房子下挖了一座隧道迷宫。
